Yum...That Is All: Part 3

Haha yes I'm still talking about food today. I can't help it. It's so much fun looking at pictures of amazing food!

Every single wedding I've ever been to has been either in the afternoon or the evening and has been followed by a dinner and dance. My wedding is no exception, and I love this type of wedding, but I'm dying to attend a wedding that follows a different format. One of my top choices would be to attend a morning ceremony followed by a brunch. I actually considered this for our wedding for a while, but ultimately decided it wasn't the best choice for us. I still think it's a fantastic idea and would be so much fun. (hint hint all my friends!)

Mmm...brunch:

Brunch is very cozy and comforting in my opinion. Whether it's meeting your girlfriends in a restaurant, snuggling at home with your SO, or, you know, at a wedding with 100 other people, brunch is pretty fantstic. Since I'm still talking about comfort food, I'm going to give you a run down on some comfort food that I would love to see at a brunch reception (or a morning after brunch!).

Banana Chocolate Chip Pancakes

Pesto Scrambled Tofu with Grape Tomatoes
I currently have a bit of a pesto obsession, so anything with pesto looks amazing to me right now.

Smoked Salmon and Rosti

Sticky Buns
Caramel + pecans on/in anything = amazing.

Baked Brie

Sushi
I know sushi isn't everyone's idea of comfort food, but it's definitely mine. I'm especially partial to the spicy salmon rolls from Tokyo Sushi in Toronto.

Pumpkin French Toast

Eggs Florentine with Homefries

Avocado-Pesto Potato Salad
I told you I have a thing for pesto!

Scones with clotted cream and jam (preferably strawberry rhubarb or something involving ginger)
I realize these would be more appropriate for a post on afternoon tea, but I'm personally pretty flexible about what counts as brunch food. These feel brunchy (it's a word!) to me today.

I also can't forget to mention a few amazing brunch drinks.

Tea
I'd include a whole bunch of different kinds (chai is my current favourite) and serve them in adorable mismatched tea cups.

True story: when I asked Mr. Knitting for a suggestion for a comfort food brunch food he replied, "Cantaloupe!" really confidently and right away. I don't think he quite gets the concept of comfort food. I also had no idea he had such strong feelings about cantaloupe...

What's your favourite brunch comfort food?
